It’s December again & we’re sharing all kinds of horsey gift ideas, from shoes to lipstick. Today we are going back in time to one of the original types of horse toys (some with a modern twist), rocking horses.
Rock ‘N Roll
While they are a traditional horse toy, the rocking horse has worn many faces. There are literally hundreds of variations on the original theme. We love the original wooden rockers, even with all the squeaks & upkeep, but some of the models below are pretty cool. Whether you prefer traditional or a more modern take on the original we have a bunch of great options to choose from.
Rocking horses feel like a little bit of the past, but unlike many toys of days gone, they are still relevant in every child’s toy repertoire.
